All the focus on romance was a bit over the top for me but honestly I ate most of it up!

**Includes spoilers for We Set the Dark on Fire**
We Unleash the Merciless Storm by Tehlor Kay Mejia picks up right where the heart-stopping ending to We Set the Dark on Fire left off. Told through Carmen’s POV, this conclusion to the duology raises the stakes as La Voz’s leadership grows more bold with its moves against the government of Medio. At the end of We Set the Dark on Fire Carmen was forced to admit to Dani, whom she had fallen for, that she has been lying to her and has been working undercover for La Voz. Carmen is a revelation in this one. Readers spent so much time getting to know Carmen the Segunda in the previous book, in this one we get an in depth look at Carmen the rebel. I loved her personal journey as she grapples with the girl she was and the woman she’s become. La Voz has undergone a lot of changes and Carmen has been undercover for years. As a result, many of Carmen’s closest relationships are not as strong as they used to be. Many look at her as an outsider, someone who has spent too much time behind enemy lines. Carmen, unable to communicate with Dani, has no idea how the other girl received her admission and a large part of her isn’t even sure if Dani fell for the real her to begin with. I held my breath until these two could finally meet again and their reunion is just as intense as I imagined it would be. We Unleash to Merciless Storm is the perfect companion to the first novel with a deliciously fierce lead character and a heart-stopping conclusion to an unforgettable duology.

This is a strong sequel to the first book, and I love them both separately and especially together as a firepowered duology that relentlessly centers queer sapphic love, romance, desire, and relationship.
